Arm64 holds a syscall number in w8(x8) register. Ptrace tracer may change its value either to: * any valid syscall number to alter a system call, or * -1 to skip a system callThis patch implements this behavior by reloading that value into syscallno in struct pt_regs after tracehook_report_syscall_entry() or secure_computing(). In case of '-1', a return value of system call can also be changed by the tracer setting the value to x0 register, and so sys_ni_nosyscall() should not be called.

Does this mean that skipped syscalls will cause exit tracing to be skipped? If so, then you risk (at least) introducing a nice user-triggerable OOPS if audit is enabled. This bug existed for *years* on x86_32, and it amazes me that no one ever triggered it by accident. (Grr, audit.)
